Instead, the state revoked Jon Jones license, fined him a ton of money, and then basically said they won't let him reapply for his license at least until USADA signs off, which means the same thing everywhere since all AC's in the USA reciprocate, and they even reserve the right to impose a suspension longer than USADA. (though they kind of suggested they wont go crazy with that unless USADA unexpectedly comes down on him a hell of a lot lighter than expected, then CA might go "oh bullshit, you are sitting out for at least this long")

edit: his tainted supplement defense did not work very well with California because he legally certified to the state in his pre-fight questionnaire that he did not take any other supplements. Saying later that your management handles the paperwork and you don't know what you are signing doesn't get you off later.

Good
